Commentary
Wa-quudu-han-naasu wal-hijaa-ratu – (Its fuel
is of men and stones). It is indicated towards the Fire of the Hell, which will
be very rigorous. It will burn the stones also in addition to the human beings.
As though, the Idols of stones will be its fuel too. The indication from the
word ‘Al-Hijaa-ratun may be towards the cruel humankind.
In the previous lesson, the opponents were invited for competition
against the Holy Qur’aan. Now, they are being told: if you may not
face, and We say that you shall never be able to fulfill the demand of Qur’aan, then it is obvious that it is the Word of God. And it has been
disclosed that the Messenger, Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) is the True
Prophet. Now if you do not have faith in the Prophet-hood of ‘Muhammad’ (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and do not act
upon the commandments of Holy Qur’aan, it shall be the Base of the
Hell’s Agony. So, you must arrange to be saved from it, because the Fire of
Hell is not any normal fire. But that is such Fire; fuel of which will be men
and stones. And this Fire has been prepared for such people; who contradict the
commandments of Islam, Prophet-hood of Muhammad (SallAllaahu alayHi wa
AaliHii Wasallam), the Truth of
the Divine precepts of Islam and purity of Holy Qur’aan.
Some more matters have also been cleared from this verse:
· The matter in
which the enemies of Islam; particularly “the Quresh” had big
pretension, that is to say “Purity of the words and to cause to understand the
meanings easily”, making them humble in the same, it was proved that this Word
is of Allah Almighty.
· False gods; which
the people have adopted instead of One God (Allah Almighty) and ask them for
their desires, those all were refuted.
· Punishment of
infidelity was fixed i.e. the Hell.
We should have no doubt in the Divinity of the Holy Qur’aan,
the Truth of Islam, sincerity and honesty of the Messenger ‘Muhammad’ (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) because if the
entire human beings try collectively to write any one, small chapter like the
Chapters of the Holy Qur’aan, they cannot bring (in which all those
excellence must exist which exist in this Word of God Almighty). Some of the
excellence are: pure words, eloquence and rhetoric, preaching of good manners,
explaining the meanings excellently, material for relief and guidance of all
people, instructions for the mankind in the entire fields of difficulties and
problems, useful equally for all the nations of the world etc.
